Process
The process involves a coding assessment followed by a half-day interview, which is quite time-consuming.
They will send you details about the interview, and you can ask any questions you may have. The coding part is fairly average; you can practice with CodeSignal questions.
Questions
Typical LeetCode questions for technical interviews, and behavioral questions were pretty hard too, so practice for that.
